Jesper Ohrvall moved on to 12 goals for the season in 14 games with a hat trick in Manchester Storm's 5-2 win over Dundee Stars.

Jake Brickell's wrist shot in the slot opened the scoring with 10:08 played, although the teams were level at the first thanks to Elijah Barriga pouncing on a rebound from Drydn Dow's blue line shot.

A Jesper Ohrvall double in period two then put the Storm in control. The Swede wristed top-shelf from the faceoff circle at 13:13, followed by an almost identical effort into the other corner less than three minutes later. Both were powerplay goals.

Stephen Johnson put Storm two ahead with 7:22 left, although the hosts then had Jake Bricknell ejected for a bad hit on Phillip Sanche. Ohrvall completed his hat trick at 55:10 to give Manchester some breathing space in a high-tempered end to the game.
